Java(TM) 6 Update 2Java(TM) 6 Update 3

You have LimeWire and BitComet, P2P file sharing programs installed on your computer. These programs do not come bundled with malware as some similar programs do, but peer-to-peer file sharing networks are one of the biggest sources of malware we see. Anything downloaded from them cannot be trusted to be clean, because even if the file appears to be what it claims to be, it can have malware embedded in it.I recommend you remove them, but of course the choice is yours.You can remove Limewire and BitComet via Add/Remove Programs.

Incredimail free is an adware program which has an unusual EULA - the company behind the product claims ownership of everything sent through their mail service. Some details of this and the additional security risks associated with this program can be found here. The article is dated 2002, but the information is still current.I recommend you reconsider whether you wish to use this program; an ad-free, safe alternative with plenty of formatting options and add-ons is Mozilla Thunderbird

thanks for the advice on p2p but i am very aware of the problems they can cause and use them with great caution. as for incredimail, the vesion i have is a premium one. i have used it for many years and had no advers experiences with it.
